Eighth Moniversary

So, I'm a few days over due, but we recently had another moniversary, so I figured I'd better update the world on our latest stories. Of course, this month contained important events such as my birthday and the second grade play. In addition to those events there are a few others we need to discuss. They are as follows:

My First Ballet ExperienceSo one of Robyn's students was in a ballet put on by a community organization at an outdoor theater in Sandy. It was a fabulous experience, I had popcorn from the concession stand and we got to feel the cool evening breeze as we watched the ballet. Robyn said that I need to see a real professional ballet so I can really know what it's like. She also said there won't be popcorn at one of those so I think I'll stick to the community ballet for now.

Robyn puts on a Themed Dinner PartyRobyn got really excited to have another couple over for dinner. We had done that lots of times but since she had more time with school being out she wanted to make a big deal out of it. The theme was "Games." My contribution was that I used my excellent skills with google to find ideas to go along with the theme. She had the game Sorry as a center piece and for dinner we had "pickup sticks" (kabobs) with some sides and then for dessert we had "Apples 2 Apples crisp" it was a lot of fun and Robyn was a guru.

Robyn's Late Night ConfusionSo my friend Jared William had come over and we were up pretty late one night. Robyn had already gone to bed and I invited Jared to just sleep in our guest bed so he wouldn't have to drive home. Apparently that night I was extra snorealicious so Robyn decided to go sleep in the guest bed. Apparently she stood there for like 10 minutes trying to figure out if someone was in the bed. I wish I could report that she actually got in the bed, imagine the awkwardness that would have ensued, but unfortunately that didn't happen.

I get Jealous that Robyn is a TeacherSo Robyn is now out of teaching school for the summer. She gets to sleep in and stay home all day and have all sorts of freedoms that I have not had since I was eight years old. (I've had some sort of employment since that age, even if it was only delivering papers or mowing lawns.) I'm not saying that teachers don't work hard during the school year but 3 months off is a pretty good benefit. So, to make it fair, my proposal is that Robyn and I switch professions to see whose is harder. I told her we should just try it for the next 3 months and then decide. Don't you think that's a good proposal?

I'm gonna have to go with Robyn on this one... Summer is for the teacher's sanity more than any other reason! We soooo need the break. If you taught the whole school year, you would earn the summer break.

And it is a shame that Robyn did not actually get into the bed! That would have made the story uber awesome!

If you want a really fun dinner party/game night, you should try out the How to Host a Murder games. They are way fun! Assign everyone a role before the party and tell them to come dressed like their character.
